Putnam County District Attorney Adam Levy said Monday that his actions were lawful and ethical in his handling of rape charges against his live-in personal trainer but continued to refuse to provide any details about his relationship to the suspect.

"As I have stated from the outset, upon hearing the news that Alexander Hossu, who my family had known for years, was charged and arrested, I immediately turned over the case to the Westchester County District Attorney's Office," Levy said in a brief, two-paragraph statement released at 6:15 p.m. Monday.
